Ipsos Brand Power Research for the Gaming Sector

Explore the Power of Your Gaming Brand

Use Ipsos Brand Power research to diagnose your gaming brand's strengths, opportunities, and challenges, and identify a new position of brand power.

Research shows that brands with the ability to deliver strong emotional and aspirational benefits are the most powerful among their competitors. Knowing how to manage and communicate the emotional and aspirational aspects that differentiate their brands allows companies to maximize the power of their brands.

Hierarchy of Brand Strength: A Lottery Game Example

Aspirational or social benefits are about what the brand gives people, in terms of self-image or standing among their peers.

Emotional benefits express people's feelings when they interact with the brand – whether they are engaged with a product or service, or speaking with a customer service representative.

Functional attributes, while important to have, can easily be claimed or duplicated by competitors, and rarely differentiate one brand from another. For example, "high quality" is a typical functional attribute."A brand I can trust" is the emotional benefit that could express "high quality."
